NOVEMBER NEWS FROM THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

Just a reminder that we are meeting this Wednesday, November 7 at 10:00 am at the Havelock City Hall to discuss Miss Dreamsville….    Our  next book, The Help, will be handed out at that time.  Hope to see you all there!

If any of you supported the Friends of the Library  BUNCO event which was held Sunday, November 4th;  we extend our thanks to you!  WE had a very successful event and, I think, everyone had fun.

Beginning Monday, October 29th, 2018 the Havelock – Craven County Library will be open on Mondays through Wednesdays from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, and on Thursday and Fridays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.  Saturday hours will be 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The Library will be having Preshool Story Hour in Room 126 of the Craven Community College Redd Building at 10:40 am on Thursdays.  The K-2nd grade Story Hour will be on the First and Third Friday of each month at 4:00 pm at the Library.

We are moving the discussion date for Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women’s Literary Society  to Wednesday, November 7th to give members of our group time to read the book.   Stay tuned for the location of the discussion.

The Havelock – Craven County Library will open Tuesday, October 16 with limited hours and limited access. Reserve pickups, limited material check out, copying and fax services are available. No public computer access is available but wireless is available.

The hours will be 10-3 Mon thru Sat. starting Tuesday, October 16, 2018.

We are so happy to hear that our Library will be open even for limited access!

Updated post from Margie Garrison, Librarian:

“The dean of the Havelock campus of Craven Community College has informed us that the air conditioning system has broken and cannot be repaired. A new one has been ordered and should be available in six to eight weeks.  The library is currently closed but we are intently looking into ways to open with limited hours and limited services. We will let you know as soon as we can.”

Thank you for your patience.

This is a message from Margie Garrison:

As per Luann:

I just spoke to Margie.  She is uncertain about the library opening next week.  I called Havelock City Hall and our book group can use the Board Room to meet Oct.3rd 10:00-11:30 am to discuss The  Stone Angel.  

 I am picking up the next book collection today from New Bern Library.  Claire will be distributing the new book ( Miss Dreamsville and the Collier Co.Women’s Literary Society) and collect the copies of the The Stone Angel.

 We can carry on with flexibility!   Luann

PS  The Stone Angel was not particularly uplifting but it provides a lot of food for discussion. People do face loss that affects the rest of their life.

Thank you Luann for getting this set up for us.

The Havelock Craven County Public Library is still being assessed for damage and must be inspected before reopening.  The hope is that it will be able to open later this week.  The exact date is not known at this time but the staff are doing everything in their power to get our Library reopened.

The Havelock Literary and Crab Pot Society will NOT be meeting this Wednesday, September 26th.  The meeting has been rescheduled to Wednesday, October 3, 2018 at 10:00 am to discuss “The Stone Angel” by Margaret Laurence.  At that time we will receive our next book.  Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding.
